Located in Penneshaw, 29 km from Christmas Cove Marina, CABN Kangaroo Island provides accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities. Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has sea views, and guests can enjoy access to a sauna. Each room includes a balcony. CABN is a very special place! We absolutely loved our two-night stay. The location is quiet and a bit remote, which we loved. There are only five or six cabins on the property, and they are very spread out, so you have a lot of privacy. The views are amazing, the wildlife plentiful, and the cabin is very well thought out with lovely touches. We made sure to come back to the cabin well before sunset after exploring the amazing island, just to make sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the cabin, the surroundings, and once the sun started getting lower on the horizon, take in the views from the deck with the many kangaroos and wallabies who came right around the cabin. We also absolutely loved having the sauna with the picture window, and used it both nights. And, the night sky is truly amazing with absolutely no light pollution. All in all, a very special and memorable stay. Highly recommended.

Brett's Rest Nel is set in Kingscote and offers a terrace and a bar. The property features garden views. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

Located on the ground floor, this spacious apartment comes with 1 bedroom, a well-equipped kitchen with a toaster and a fridge, a living room, and a flat-screen TV. Towels and bed linen are featured in the apartment. The accommodation is non-smoking. Brett was full of advice that took us to great places and even saved us some money. He was there on grounds for anything we needed. Our kids loved the huge screen, playing darts and with Brett’s dog Chase. We loved sipping a drink surrounded by nature at sunset. The beds were comfortable and we could only hear bird’s singing in the morning. It’s a bush cabin so expect to meet with nature!

Set 200 metres from Emu Bay Beach, Birubi Holiday Homes Kangaroo Island offers air-conditioned accommodation with a patio. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The holiday home has family rooms. Sue was communicative about the location and the directions to get the key for the house. The house has an incredible view of the bay. It’s located in a nice neighborhood with tons of wildlife. We saw at least five koalas swaying in the trees nearby. And one night we saw a ton of kangaroos. Echidnas and gorgeous birds can be seen too. The property has a nice and easy bbq to use. And we were able to do a load of laundry and air dried our clothes. I even took a picture of the clothes drying on the line with the bay in the background because it was such a beautiful setting. There’s a dryer too in case line drying isn’t realistic. The kitchen is huge and has all the pots and pans and lots of supplies. We had a great time!

Set in Stokes Bay in the Kangaroo Island region, Waves & Wildlife Cottages Kangaroo Island offers accommodation with free private parking.

The lodge provides guests with a balcony, sea views, a seating area, satellite flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and an oven, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. A microwave, a stovetop and toaster are also offered, as well as a kettle. I absolutely loved this place. It is right above/next Stokes Beach, which was voted best beach in 2023, and has some of the best sunsets I have ever seen. When you have breakfast, kangaroos are hopping everywhere around your window (if you prefer to eat indoors). There are koalas in the trees a bit further and at dawn the wallabies come out. The owners make sure you have everything and even let us hand feed the kangaroos. I really enjoyed the silence of nature at night, this was my best sleep on my Australian travels (amazing blanket and pillow as well).
